This has me thinking, as I primarily want Blackhawks but you just never know until selection time comes what you'll get. Are there instances where people switch airframes at some point in their career if they want? Or strictly just needs of the Army type of thing?

It is uncommon, especially in more recent years. The Army has denied airframe changes to pilots who told HRC it was either allow the change or lose a pilot. Doesn’t make sense when the army is short on pilots but HRC still denies it.
